Cocktail of the Week: A Smoky Rum Drink to Sip from Your Armchair

"The common conception with citrus drinks is that they're overwhelmingly sweet, but this drink is definitely conceived for someone who would enjoy something like a whiskey on the rocks or a straight liquor cocktail. It's got great citrus notes, but they're more tart and refreshing, and pair well with the smokiness. The maraschino garnish adds a bit of candy-like sweetness. Definitely use fresh lemon juice for this. Corsair's a great local distillery that makes pretty much every spirit, especially gin and whiskey (including moonshine), but we love the rum. The name is a play on the Corsair Triple Smoke, and the way that it's dressed up kind of reminded us of a smoking jacket. Demerara syrup gives it a more mature feel than just simple syrup, but you could theoretically substitute with something like honey or agave should you wish." —Miranda Poore, Patterson House, Nashville
